Despite her injury, Chihaya requests that Shinobu play with everything she has. As Shinobu takes the lead, Chihaya decides to take the gauze and tape off her finger, as she feels it is slowing her down, managing to win Shinobu's best card. However, Shinobu soon gains a further lead as Chihaya feels more pain from her injury, and the game soon ends with Shinobu's win by 23 cards. After the match, Chihaya thanks Shinobu for not going easy on her and tells her she plans to play against her again in the Queen match. Remembering her childhood friend who she was seperated from due to her karuta training, Shinobu anticipates her next match with Chihaya. Meanwhile, in the Class B tournament, Taichi is in a winning situation against Hiro.
Malgré sa blessure, Chihaya demande à Shinobu de jouer avec tout ce qu'elle a. Alors que Shinobu prend la tête, Chihaya décide d'enlever la gaze et de scotcher son doigt, car elle sent que cela la ralentit, réussissant à gagner la meilleure carte de Shinobu. Cependant, Shinobu prend rapidement une nouvelle avance car Chihaya ressent plus de douleur à cause de sa blessure, et le match se termine bientôt avec la victoire de Shinobu par 23 cartes.
